Oh for sure, that works, if you don't mind holding a mouse key down for ~5 minutes while it scrolls thru. I just thought someone knew how to mark two points in the file and delete everything in between, instead of a tedious scroll and cut. Mike At 23:41 01/06/01 +0200, Hugo Slater wrote: >Yes ...

Hi Mike A faster way is to click on the first person you want to delete and then drag the scroll bar, on the left side of the screen, with the mouse till you come to the last person you want to delete. Now while holding the shift key click on this last person. All items between the two names are highlighted. Delete, cut etc. Jerry Port Coquitlam B.C.

That's what I do, but how is it "Faster"? It's the dragging the scroll bar that takes so much time Mike At 15:38 01/06/01 -0700, Jerry wrote: >Hi Mike > >A faster way is to click on the first person you want to delete and then >drag the scroll bar, on the left side of the screen, with the mouse till you >come to the last person you want to delete.
